Mayor Joe Hogsett plans May the Fourth observance at City Market

Indianapolis will embrace pop culture when Mayor Joe Hogsett declares today, May 4, as "Star Wars Day" during a 1 p.m. ceremony at City Market, 222 E. Market St.

The declaration aligns with a long-running pun "May the Fourth be with you" (inspired by original "Star Wars" mantra "May the Force be with you").

We have a good feeling about Hogsett's decision, and we think these are the next pop-culture holidays he's looking for:

April 25: “Miss Congeniality Day”

In a meme based on the Sandra Bullock beauty-pageant comedy that picks up more steam on social media every year, Miss Rhode Island (Heather Burns) gives an unexpected answer to the question, "Describe your perfect date." Her response: "That’s a tough one. I’d have to say April 25th, because it’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket."

April 26: “Alien Day”

Similar to the wordplay involved in May the Fourth and "Star Wars Day," April 26 has been adopted as "Alien Day" because the early part of 1979's "Alien" and most of 1986's "Aliens" take place on the colonial moon known as LV-426.

July 31, “Harry Potter Day”

"The Boy Who Lived," aka Harry James Potter, was born on July 31, 1980.

Aug. 29, “Terminator Day”

Perhaps not a day for partying, Aug. 29, 1997, was known as "Judgment Day" in the fictional "Terminator" films. Three billion people died in a nuclear holocaust.

Sept. 17, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Day”

Rather than focusing on an actual Cubs game that fits into the timeline of 1986 teen classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," let's look to the annual German parade Ferris (Matthew Broderick) crashes. Chicago hosts a Von Steuben Parade each year, and Sept. 17 is the birthday of Baron Friedrich von Steuben, George Washington's chief of staff during the Revolutionary War.

Oct. 21, “Back to the Future Day”

It might be wise to wager on "Back to the Future Day" as a legitimate contender for Hogsett's attention. Oct. 21, 2015, is the day Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel to in 1989’s "Back To The Future Part II."
